More lift. What do I need?
Hey everyone, I own a 2011 unlimited with a 3.5 inch teraflex lift and 35s. After adding a bunch of armor (weight) I decided to purchase a 2 inch coilspring spacer for the front and 1 inch for the back. Do I need to change anything els on the jeep? Brakelines?
Even at 3.5" your brake lines should have needed attention if you flex your suspension. Assuming your shocks aren't limiting travel, stock brake lines would be a real concern. Do you have a stock front drive shaft? You may be looking at an aftermarket shaft with a smaller diameter (1310/1350). Breather hoses for your front and rear axles are something else to look at. The stock length ones will pull loose when you flex and you can get water into your diffs if you go then through water/ mud.
So you either have a TeraFlex 3" or 2.5" kit with 2" front spacers and 1" rears? I would consider front brakelines, adjustable control arms and a trackbar.
I just purchased flat fenders so rubbing isn't much of a concern. I was told that the spacers were much much easier then a body lift. I've flexed out the jeep many times but my dumb ass hasnt looked to see how stressed the brake lines are. I hate the rake that I have gotten from adding the heavy front bumper. Ive gotten used to how big the jeep is and just want it a little bit bigger
. How much do extended brake lines and breathers usally run. Maby I'll just lift it 1 in the front.
